At Guitar Tricks® we make learning how to play songs a lot of fun!

Our instructors cover every section of the song slowly at first, and once you get each part down you get to play along with a professional backing band! For difficult songs we offer a 'Songs Made Easy' version for beginners, which is simplified to the basic chords and one guitar part.

Each song includes accurate guitar tabs as well as standard music notation.
